It's possible with Policy Routing. Look at
http://www.policyrouting.org/PolicyRoutingBook/ONLINE/TOC.html for
documentation about it.
(Simplest?) way to do it: (only short excerpt)
- Mark the specific application packets with iptables in PREROUTING
chain
...
- add rules for routing fwmarked packets to seperate routing tables
ip rule add fwmark <your fwmark #1> table <routing table for slow apps>
ip rule add fwmark <your fwmark #2> table <routing table for fast apps>
- build both routing tables
ip route add default via $PTP1 dev <device #1> src $IP1 proto static
table <routing table for slow apps>
ip route add default via $PTP2 dev <device #2> src $IP2 proto static
table <routing table for fast apps>
(Proto static needs kernel patches, but you don't really need this)
